Summary

  • Rewrites collector.md as a comprehensive guide for bringing your own OpenTelemetry Collector to send data to New Relic
  • Provides complete, copy-pasteable DaemonSet and Deployment configurations with all receivers, processors, exporters, and pipelines
  • Adds platform-specific sections for OpenShift and GKE Autopilot
  • Adds a guide for using the OpenTelemetry Kube Stack Helm chart, including the ${file:/path} confmap provider workaround for per-node CPU/memory percentage calculations
  • Documents RBAC requirements, collector self-metrics, and deployment steps with init container setup

Test plan

  • Validated kube-stack deployment locally in Minikube
  • Confirmed node.cpu.usage.percentage and node.memory.usage.percentage metrics arrive in New Relic
  • Verified all internal links and example file references resolve correctly
